there are about 100 starting LBers in the NFL, Larry Foote ranking in the top third in tackles doesn't help your argument that Foote is horrible.

Dude i hope you're not even counting Olb especially in a 3-4 defense their not even designed to make tackles. You will never / rarely see Harrison or Woodley leading the team in tackles If you are , there's no need to debate with you stick to copy and pasting articles!

Focusing on Foote’s play yesterday is akin to worrying about a pimple when you’ve just been bitten by a Black Mamba. He may be an average linebacker, but it was the offense that was utterly and entirely useless yesterday. In reality, Batch, i.e., Methuselah, looked like he was throwing wiffle balls in a wind tunnel.

This is spot on. The Offense was the problem yesterday. The Defense did it's job and did it well. The fact that they held as well as they did was admirable.

Especially when both TD's came off a 10 yard drive and a 31 yard drive after the OFFENSE fumbled in our own territory.
Lets blame the DEFENSE!! Brilliant.

Yup...when your team is MINUS SEVEN in turnover differential, that typically means that you lose something like 45-10.

The fact that we were within 6 points at the end, in spite of our offense handing the opposition tremendous field position again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again, meant that our defensive effort yesterday was absolutely HUGE. We had ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS being in that game at all based on how pitiful our offense was, but our defense still somehow kept us in the game until the very end. Props to everyone on our defense (including Larry Foote, who had a tremendous strip of the ball from Richardson late in the game that everyone agrees should have been rule a fumble at a crucial stage of the game).
